Excellent Mike. Shows how well they blend in up there - this is a real typical Quantock view of deer. Nice symmetry to the picture. I guess they'd spotted you. :jump:

Hi Mike,

Love this! Looks superb with a touch more contrast, saturation and sharpening IMO though, the deer really pop from the bg.

Cheers,

Lewis.

I agree with Lewis, but a good shot nevertheless. Well done. :toast:

Nice group shot, agree that a little more contrast and sharpening would benefit it, but nicely composed shot, and good to get them all looking in the same direction too!

Hello Mike.

Super group shot and love the conditions you have capured these in.

Nits covered.

I like this one. Great group shot and nicely composed.

Agree about the processing nits but this is a lovely composition and a good 'animal in habitat' image.

Cheers,
Chris

sligthly sharped

I like it, especially the way that every animal is looking your way and the fact that there is ample seperation between all of the deers faces. The frosty setting is nice too :cool:
Looks like a challenging stalk with so many pairs of eyes on the lookout.

Love the pose you have caught,with them all looking at you,the second for me,really good :wink: :wavey:

Second one for me also .A slice off the top to form a letterbox format may work too.Great capture with them all looking straight at you.
